The key points
- The strategy
- The project
- The territory
Between the Maremma and the Tuscan Archipelago, a few miles from the island of Elba, Marina di Scarlino is today one of the best-known tourist ports in the Mediterranean, the result of an operation worth about 70 million connected to the Swan shipyard.
Born from an idea of the entrepreneur Leonardo Ferragamo, with a great passion for the sea and sailing, and developed as a marina resort & boatyard, Marina di Scarlino is an example of an integrated offer with an accommodation complex consisting of 30 luxury apartments, a Nautor’s Swan shipyard-authorized center, a Yacht club and a shopping arcade, swimming pool and beach club.
Currently – as the top managers explain – the project to expand the housing offer within the Marina is underway, which involves the construction of a new residential complex of 10 thousand square meters. These are the new Isole di Toscana Residences that will be built on the property area adjacent to the current Marina di Scarlino Resort residences, bringing the overall offer from 30 to 66 high-end homes by 2023. The Residenze Isole di Toscana complex includes 36 design apartments designed by the Tuscan architect Alessandra Cipriani. The total investment is around 16 million. At the studio, then, there is the renovation of a period building overlooking the sea as a maison de charme.
The area of the real estate intervention is then at the center of a system of tourist interest that relies on various synergistic poles between them. Starting from Marina di Scarlino it is possible to explore by bicycle the almost 6 thousand hectares of the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve reaching the summit of Monte d’Alma, dominated by the Church of Our Lady, or pedaling towards the promontory of the Bandite di Scarlino.
Not far from the Golf Club Toscana and the Punta Ala Golf Club.
Wine tourism then merges with the design works of world-famous archistars. Starting from Marina di Scarlino you can reach the Petra Cellars, in the heart of the Val di Cornia, designed by Mario Botta. Continuing towards the hills of the Monteregio Doc, not far from the Etruscan archaeological area of San Germano, stands Rocca di Frassinello, whose cellar was designed by Renzo Piano. Le Mortelle dei Marchesi Antinori was then designed by Studio Hydra inside a hill, relying on the concept of gravitation. Located near Castiglione della Pescaia, the winery was built in the name of the lowest environmental impact.
